Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Full transcript. The excerpt in question starts on page 82 of the first interview session.
I actually really recommend reading for a few pages. Obviously it's interesting to see the primary source and judge Hur's claim about Biden not remembering when his son died, or flip to some random page and read a little and make an evaluation of Biden's mental fitness. But the little section that begins with talking about Beau dying was just really unexpected to me.
He's had a lot of terrible things happen to him with regards to family, and he strikes me as someone whose tragedies stay close to his heart and remain fresh. He's very human. I'm okay with him forgetting which year he lost Beau, because I sometimes get mixed up on the year I lost my mom (5 years ago) and I never remember the exact year my dad passed away (20+ years ago).
My favorite moment of the 2020 campaign was during the debate, Trump was mudslinging something or other about Hunter and Biden full on stopped, looked dead into the camera, and made it explicitly clear how much he cared for his son and would support him through his problems. It was a great thing to see.
It's a tie with the time when Trump was trumpeting and Biden basically said "whatever, man" and shut him down like a parent to a goofy child.
But I think I'm having trouble remembering the details, so 1) I'm out as prez and 2) anyone remind me?
Agreed. It's all projection with these dimwits. They wish they were as sharp as Biden, but most of them were in cognitive decline before birth.
